The building was established in 1905, and the Palace Theatre opened on April 19, 1921 with a live “Minstrel Follies” show benefitted by the Boy Scouts of America.

On April 29, 1944, the Palace suffered major damage by a fire that first broke out at the projection booth, which the fire completely destroyed the booth costing an estimate $45,000 in damage. Right at the time of the fire, nobody was at the theater. The fire also suffered damaged at Homan’s Store with a $5,000 estimate. Owner Roy Creson rebuilt the theater with a cost of $25,000 and reopened in late 1944.

The Palace Theatre continued to run films as late as the 1970s.

Address was 102 N. Main Street. Confirmed demolished. Now the site of Bank of Eufaula. The cross street is Foley Avenue, which is the dividing line between North and South Main Streets. The street numbering is even numbers on North Main Street, and odd numbers on South Main Street. Hence the Chief Theatre on the same side of the street but across Foley Avenue, has an odd numbered address which I also updated.
